I'm really liking the enthusiasm around the Kamisori - I look forward to adding one asap. I have all the tools I need to sharpen just about anything, why in the world would I continue to by safety razors! Plus I think I'd feel like a samurai for every shave.

I keep a separate Kangaroo strop - 1x6 - in the bathroom with some 0.025 micron poly (emulsion formulation) on it and freshen the edge on it before shaving with a few strokes on it. At that fine a grit I don't think the stroke ratio matters much at all and just do the same number of strokes on each side. I do this while the water is heating up to make some lather. Very easy clean shave. White layered steel with rattan wrapping and sting ray leather handle.
